Nagniningning ang liwanag sa kwarto ko at binalot ang paligid ng malamig na malamig na simoy ng hangin na umihip sa kurtina ng bintana para ito ay bumukas at yumakap sa akin ng malamig na hangin.
Napaka-elegante ng itsura ng buong kwarto ko dahil sa mga nagniningning na furniture designs na ngayon ay tinitigan ko gamit ang aking dalawang mata dahil sa pagkamangha ko habang nakakatitig ay nakaramdam din ako ng lungkot. Humiga na lang ako sa aking big size comfy bed at suot pa rin itong aking puting gown.
Biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa nito si Lucas na galit na galit ang mukha kasabay nun ay ang pagkabalisa na aking nararamdaman.
"Shit bakit kailangan nilang pumunta dito? Ginawa ko naman ang gusto nila." Aniya habang marahas na kumukuha ng damit sa wardrobe.
"Sinong pupunta dito?" Tanong ko at bumangon.
"My parents, so you better compose yourself and act like I did not did wrong with you. Listen, we need to act like we love each other in front of them kahit ayaw ko, ang mana ko ang nakasalalay dito. Naiintindihan mo?" Mariin siyang nagsalita.
"Oo,"
"Good, andito ako sa tabi mo matutulog ngayon." Sabi niya sabay lapit sakin at binigyan ko siya ng space para makahiga siya.
Namayani ang katahimikan sa buong silid, nakaupo lang ako ng mapagtantong kong nakapikit na si Lucas. Sana ay maramdaman din ni Lucas kung ano ang nararamdaman ko para sa kanya. Ito ang unang araw ng pagiging mag-asawa namin ngunit sa tuwing nasa tabi ko siya ay nagkakaroon ng pagkabog ang aking damdamin at ang puso ko ay parang nasa karera.
"Tanggalin mo yang gown mo at tumabi ka sa akin. Kailangan nilang makita na nandito ako sa tabi mo at huwag mong i-lock ang pinto," sabi niya habang hindi tumitingin sa akin.
"Ano pang ginagawa mo? Bilis na at magbihis ka!" Sigaw niya sa akin habang galit na galit na bumangon.
Agad akong pumunta sa dressing room at kumuha ng damit pero pagbukas ko ng wardrobe ko ay isa lang ang damit dito at ito ay revealing clothes. Damit na ayaw kong isuot kapag nasa harap ko siya 'di kasi ako komportable.
Ilang segundo pa, narinig ko siyang sumigaw. "Don't hesitate to wear the clothes I prepared, that's what you want right?"
He said things like I'm not his wife.
"You don't know what I taste Lucas." I whispered.
Wala akong magawa kundi isuot nalang ito at lumapit sa kanya.
Hindi ako kumportable sa mga ganitong klaseng damit. Nakatayo ako sa harap niiya at tumingin siya sa akin na parang hindi nasiyahan sa nakita niya. Ang malamig niyang titig ay nagpalala ng gabing ito.
"Don't act like you don't want those clothes, don't be a virgin when you're not. Go on and seduce me. You want this right?"
Hindi ako nakapag bitaw ng salita dahil inunahan na niya ako. Napakababa ng tingin niya sa akin. Ang mga salitang binitawan ni Lucas sa akin ay nagpadurog sa puso ko na parang isang milyong karayom na tumutusok sa puso ko.
Napakaliit ng tingin niya sa akin.
But I was trying to compose myself ko para magpahayag ng salita. "I'm not like what you think of me. To tell the truth, I want this marriage to happen because I love you, kaya kinausap ko ang parents mo na pakasalan ako kaagad."
"Anong sabi mo?" galit na galit na tanong ni Lucas, at mabilis na bumangon sa kama.
Kinikilabutan ako ngayon sa kanya habang papalapit siya sa akin. Napaatras ako dahil sa takot at ang mga tingin niya sa akin ngayon ay ganap na galit.
"Wala, kalimutan mo na," bulong ko habang nakaatras parin papalayo sa kanya, naramdaman ko ang mga yabag niya papalapit sa akin.
Ilang segundo ang lumipas at naramdaman ko ang mahigpit na paghawak niya sa kamay ko at napangiwi ako ng sumakit ito.
Kaagad niya itong hinigpitan at marahas na pinunit ang aking damit at ngayon ay nakalantad sa kanya ang buong katawan ko. Nararamdaman kong kinagat niya ang aking leeg.
"Gusto mo bang gawin ko ito?" Bulong niya habang inaayos ko ang sarili ko na huwag umiyak.
Pagkatapos ay binuhat niya ako at dinala sa aking higaan at inihagis ako ng marahas at pumapaibabaw siya sa akin, mabangis niya na hinahalikan at s********p ang aking mga labi.
"Aray!" Napapikit ako sa sakit.
"Say it, gusto mo bang gawin ko ito?" Sabi niya habang hinawakan ang isang parte ng katawan ko at hindi ako komportable sa ganito.
"No, please let go of me," pagmamakaawa ko.
"Ngunit hindi para sa iyo ang magdesisyon. Ginusto mo ang kasal na ito at wala kang magagawa kung aangkinin kita ngayong gabi. Hindi ka makakatakas sa galit ko. Ngayon, kailangan mong maranasan ito." Galit niyang sabi.
Sinigawan ko siya at umaasang lalayo siya sa akin at mas lalo lang lumala ang sitwasyon. Akala ko ay mabubuhay ako ng masaya sa piling niya pero hindi pala.
Nakagat ko ang labi ko habang pinagmamasdan si Lucas na tinanggal ang panty ko at halos pinupunit ang bra ko. Tumulo ang mga luha mula sa aking mga mata, napapikit ako. Hindi ako makatitig sa kanya habang hinahawakan ang parte ko. Hinawakan ko ang kumot habang dinadama ang sakit sa aking puso.
Nanginginig ako ng marahan niya akong hinalikan sa leeg at ramdam ko na sinundan niya ito gamit ang kanyang mga daliri na humawak sa aking bundok. Gusto kong bumangon dito at iwan siya agad yung tipong hindi na niya ako makikita.
He bite my earlobe habang sarap na sarap siya sa ginagawa niya sa akin at tumingin siya saglit sa akin na para bang ako ay isang biktima niya na hindi niya mahihintay na matikman.
"Hindi mo naman ako mahal diba?" Bigla kong tanong at hindi ko na alam ang gagawin sa susunod na magalit pa siya sa akin.
Tapos huminto siya at tinitigan ako habang nasa ibabaw ko siya. "Okay I will make the right decision, I will not go any further but the next time you make me mad mararanasan mo ang hindi mo pa nararanasan noon. Understood?" Sabi niya habang tumayo at isinuot ang damit niya. Buti na lang ay hindi na siya nagalit.
Pero nabigla ako sa sunod niyang ginawa. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng sakit sa aking leeg, s********p niya ang balat ko. Nag-iiwan siya ng marka sa leeg ko na ngayon ay namumula na.
"I know you want this marriage and you made your choice now you have to devour my ruthlessness." Bulong ko at tahimik na kumirot ang puso ko habang papalabas siya ng pinto.
Naiwan si Reigna Mendoza na mag-isa sa kanyang silid matapos isara ng malakas ni Lucas ang pinto. Umupo siya sa kanyang kama at hinayaang tumulo ang kanyang mga luha mula sa kanyang hazel almond na mga mata.Ang kanyang mahinahong mga hikbi ay lumakas. Akala niya ay magiging masaya siya pagkatapos ng kanilang kasal ngunit nagkamali siya, sa halip ay natagpuan niya ang sarili sa isang bangungot.Feeling drained and emptiness of her soul that she couldn't recognize. Reigna dragged her heavy footsteps as she walked towards the comfort room. When she was in she gazed at herself in a mirror without any emotions.Habang tinitingnan niya ang kanyang mukha, hindi niya matukoy ang anumang sulyap ng kaligayahan kundi ang paghihirap.Gayunpaman, nang simulan niyang hubarin ang kanyang gusot na damit ay tinitigan niya ang kanyang hubad na repleksyon natanto niya na hindi ito ang buhay na pinangarap niya. Naaawa siyang tinignan ang sarili. Kinagat niya ang kanyang labi para kumalma."I'm sorry, hi
Ang walang tigil na dagundong ng kulog ay gumagala sa kalangitan habang ang kidlat ay tumama sa lupa at parang hahatiin na ito ang mundo sa dalawa. Ang kalangitan sa itaas ay puno ng stratus gray clouds habang nagbabantang bubuhos ang ulan. Habang handang alisin ni Inang Kalikasan ang kanyang galit, maririnig sa buong sulok ang masasakit na sigaw ni Reigna.Tumama ang malakas na sampal sa mukha niya, bumagsak ang katawan niya sa malamig na sahig dahil sa epekto ng malakas na sampal nito. Isang masakit na pagngiwi ang kumawala sa kanyang bibig habang patuloy na bumabagsak ang dugo mula sa kanyang bibig."Ahh please stop, don't do this to me," pakiusap ni Reigna sa asawa habang gumagapang, inabut niya ang paa ni Lucas habang lumuluha. She was trying to cool the atmosphere between them pero mas lalo lang nagalit si Lucas sa tuwing naririnig niya ang mga hikbi ni Reigna. "Tumigil ka sa pag-iyak, kung hindi lang sa mana hindi kita pakakasalan." Sumirit siya nang bakas sa boses niya ang pag
Lucas went home drunk that night. Pero nabigla na lamang si Reigna ng bigla siyang sinungkaban ng halik ni Lucas. Walang nagawa si Reigna kundi ang magpadala sa init at sa sarap na nararamdaman sa lalaking matagal na niyang gusto.Lucas lasing ka, bitiwan mo ako. She was trying to resist it but it felt better when Lucas' lips touched hers.Mula ng maikasal sila ngayon lang ito nangyari they finally made love. Their body fell onto the mattress, her breathing was heavy with tender pleasure as Lucas claimed her lips.Reigna couldn't resist it as their bodies were intertwined. Her body could feel Lucas pressing down on her, making her feel the satisfaction as her breathing went heavy.She gasped and then felt excruciating pain between her legs. “Lucas please lasing ka lang.” She uttered under her breath. But the man who stinks of alcohol gave her a simple snarl, then continued to hit her with heavy blows.Smelling his scent through her nostril was so addictive. Reigna let out a groan wh
“I will never love you as I love Katherine,” Those were the words that keep revolving in her mind as she fixes herself in the mirror. She doesn't even know why he hates her. All she could was to love him. She didn't expect that day to happen. No matter how hard she tries, he pushes her away. It’s been a month since that day happened. Palagi lang siyang nilalagpasan ni Lucas at tiningnan lamang siya ng masama.After a month of being with him. Nothing changed between them at mas lumala pa ang pagtrato ni Lucas kay Reigna. He even brought Katherine to their house, making stupid things that made her miserable.Her mom always asked if she was okay but she did lie to her — if only she knew the truth about how Lucas treated her ay baka pinuntahan na niya ito at pagalitan. Lucas was cold as ice, ruthless at walang pakialam sa kanya. Since they were being married Reigna suffers at his bad attitude. Sometimes she thinks about why she even married a person who didn't love her?That was the stup
Reigna Mendoza can’t believe about what the doctor said to her. She wasn’t in her mind at the moment. She didn't even digest the words to her head. “You are two weeks pregnant ma’am. Congratulations!”That's were the words that keep on revolving in her head. She's in the kitchen, drinking a glass of water for the 4th time. She cannot even blink her eyes because of the news. She felt uneasy and burdened.All she could think was the result of what the doctor said this morning. She feared what might Lucas reaction if he knew the truth. Her pregnancy wasn’t plan at all. Worry and anxious were written all over her face. “What I’m going to do?” She whispered worriedly as she took a long deep breath.“Should I now packed my things and left him immediately so that I can start my new life with my baby?” She said in herself not knowing that Lucas was in there standing at the door.“What did you just say?” He said as he stepped forward to her.“Nothing,” She said at umiwas ng tingin.“Dinala
A phone call rang throughout the room. Lucas Miller took his phone from the side table and answered it with a big smile when he saw who was calling.“Awesome!” A loud soft voice greeted him.“Thank You babe,” he replied “You should've done this a long time ago." She said, with a glimpse of eagerness.“You should never have married that woman!" She added.Babe, you already know the reason behind this diba? Kung hindi ko pinakasalan ang babaeng iyon wala akong makukuhang mana kay Dad.” He gently spoke.“Okay fine,”“Now that I totally freed myself. I will marry you soon.” “Really?” She said excitedly.“Yeah babe, I promise.”“Babe, let us celebrate now because you did a great job.” “Hmm, why did you never say that when you came here minutes ago?”“Because you never said that you divorce her. You just want to see me right?” She said,“I’m so jealous of that woman when you are with her.” She added.“I’m sorry babe, it’s my parents will. Besides, I was married to her but I never saw her
Reigna's mind racing as she sat down waiting to hear the results of her pregnancy. She was with Edward, her best friend who had her back since day one.“Mrs. Mille— she cut off what the doctor was going to say.“It’s Ms. Mendoza, doctor.”“Ahh okay Ms. Mendoza, I am happy to inform you that your baby is healthy.” The doctor said with a big bright smile and Reigna let out a deep breath as she plastered her smile.“Thank you so much doctor,” she smiled upon holding her two hands with herself while she couldn't hold back her joy.If only Lucas had known about her pregnancy and he would have accepted her, she would have told the good news directly.As Reigna hurried to leave the hospital with Edward, all she could think was Lucas and her child. Reigna wrapped her hand around Edward's arms as she looked at and caressed her stomach while feeling the child inside her womb.She said sorry to her mind for her child for the failing marriage with her ex-husband.In their marriage Reigna never f
Gabi na at mag-isang nakatingin si Reigna sa kawalan. Madaling araw na pero hindi pa rin siya makatulog. Sa tuwing ipipikit niya ang kanyang mga mata ay iniisip niya si Lucas accusing her of cheating with her best friend. Even though he was the first one to betray. Ang kanyang mga mata ay namumula at namamaga dahil sa pag-iyak sa buong maghapon. She want someone to comfort her pero wala si Edward sa tabi niya. Gusto niyang ipaglaban ang kasal niya sa huling pagkakataon at gustong ipaliwanag na hindi totoo ang mga larawan na iyon. Gusto niyang ipagsigawan sa buong mundo na si Lucas lang ang mahal niya pero hindi niya magawa sa sarili niya. She couldn't just make Lucas fall in love with her. At si Katherine lang ang mamahalin niya. She knew from the very first beginning of Katherine’s existence. She was his first love at kahit anong gawin ni Reigna ay hindi niya mapapalitan si Katherine sa puso ni Lucas. She think that maybe siya ang humahadlang sa pag-iibigan nila at siya ang k
One chilly evening, as Lucas went home from work with an exhaustion was written all over his face. He got out of his car, his shoulders heavy with fatigue. His day at work had been long, exhausted from the grind, all he wanted was a warm meal and a chance to lie on his comfort bed. As he unlocked the door and stepped into the living room he was greeted by a disarray arrangements. The house looked like it never taste a clean once in a while.Katherine!” Lucas called out, waiting for a response. Nakarinig naman Siya kaagad ng mga yabag ng paparating.Katherine approached and hugged him directly with a kiss on the forehead. “Hey babe, I miss you.” She said in a soft voice. “You’re home early.” She added.“Yeah, I finish my paper works early so that I can relax. Nakaluto ka na ba? And what's going on with the house bakit Ang dumi?” Lucas asked his voice carried a frustration.Katherine looked around, her eyes look shocked slightly. “ Oh, I was planning to clean up but I was not able to do
Edward sat in one of the VIP rooms when he saw someone when the door was opened. He knew it was him, gulping the entire glass of alcohol.He stood and approached him. It was the best time to talk to him. Edward tapped his broad back causing him to look back.He gulped once more before he could open his mouth. “Who are you?” Lucas asked with dizziness. There was a frightening silence between them and Lucas needed to put the glass to look at the man beside him. Edward had a blank expression before taking his seat.“Don't you remember me?” Edward asked.Lucas traced his face and suddenly his eyes widened. “Why are you here? What do you need from me? Go to my wife and sleep with her again.” Lucas said with anger.“You are being serious with that accusation to your wife huh?” Edward asked while letting out a chuckle before sipping his glass of whiskey.“Sa tingin mo ba magagawa iyon ng asawa mo kung baliw na baliw siya sayo? Think of it Lucas.” Edward asked, placing the glass on the tabl
Sa sinabi niyang iyon ay nabigla si Reigna ng tuluyan at parang hindi niya maigalaw ang buong katawan niya. Napaisip siya kung bakit alam ng babaeng ito ang lahat sa buhay niya.“But I don't care about your child. Kahit isilang mo pa iyan na walang ama ay wala rin akong pakialam dahil gusto kong maging akin lang si Lucas.” Katherine said in a harsh tone.But her shock was immediately replaced by anger. Reigna was mad. Her eyes were on fire because of her wrath. “How dare you say that? Wala ka talagang hiya!” Reigna raised her voice.“Oh Reigna, hindi ako naparito upang makipag-away sayo. Gusto ko lang maayos kung may mga hindi tayo pagkakaunawaan.” Katherine approached Reigna with a fake smile. “Ano pa bang dapat nating pag-usapan. Nakuha mo na ang asawa ko diba. Ang sabihin mo isa kang mang-aagaw at maninira ng pamilya!” Nanginginig si Reigna dahil sa galit na kanyang nararamdaman. Gusto niyang sampalin si Katherine ng ilang beses upang gumising ito sa katotohanan na mali siya.“Gu
